Another Win32:Adware-gen Post

I installed Avast! and it soon informed me that I am infected with Win32:Adware-gen. My dial-up connection has been painfully slow weeks before installing Avast! However, the pop-ups did not start until uninstalling my expired security suite ... no surprise there.

Anyway, I ran SpyBot-S&D and Ad-Aware to no effect. I downloaded and installed HiJackThis, but I have no idea what to do with the results. Here they are:

Help anyone?

Thank you in advance,

Hello and welcome to WindowsBBS Forums sorry for long delay in a reply.

I see you're running the new Trend Micro HijackThis! beta version. As that application is still in beta form, we prefer to use the older version until such a time the Trend Micro one is out of beta phase testing. Please delete the Trend Micro version from your machine.

Please download HijackThis! SetUp from here. Save the file to your desktop.

Double-click the HijackThis! SetUp icon to begin the installation. Follow the prompts for the default install location of:'C:\Program Files\HijackThis'. Tick the 'Create a desktop' button when the option appears. Select next, then allow HijackThis! to start.

Then press the [Scan] button. You will notice the [Scan] button will turn into a [Save Log] button. Click the [Save Log] button and notepad will open up with the contents of the scan. Right-click in the saved log, and select 'copy'. Then proceed to your original thread, unless otherwise instructed and click the '[Reply]' button and paste the saved contents to be reviewed. Do not make any modifications to the log or perform any 'fixes' until told to do so.

This looks like a bot infection of sorts, so lets give the tool a whirl.

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and choose Install to extract it to its own folder on the Desktop. Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
• Choose your usual account.

• Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
• Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
• It will remove any Trojan Services or Registry Entries found then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
• Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
• When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
• Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt.
• Finally copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt back onto the forum with a new HijackThis log
